Second half moved more central and for 20 minutes they couldn't handle him. Hopefully we'll see him through the middle more and he can dominate a full game He was playing centrally first half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the way he picks up the ball in pockets of space and always looks to do something positive . Imagine Carles Gil the other side to him. I am telling you. We need Gil back!

Zatman Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 1st time I have seen him live, only player in 1st half who had bottle to get on the ball. 2nd half when pressure on he thrived and was easily our best player for me 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh, Gill is rubbish. Does nothing with the ball, just lays It off quickly and things just slow down . Jack is better cos he's more direct.

Dr_Pangloss Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Only saw the highlights but he won the pen so contributed greatly. I think he's very important for us, but I do wonder whether he'd be better in a more central role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 He spent the first half hour playing central, we were poor, he was poor, Bruce switched him with kodjia and he came in to the game as we did, overall he was pretty good, there were 2/3 balls that he tried to play that didn't come off, outside of the boot inside a defender for RMC that had slightly too much bend on it for one, he IMO was the only player on the pitch that could even try that pass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted November 14, 2016 Moderator Share Posted November 14, 2016 Starting for England U21's tonight against France. That'll be a good test for the boy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted November 14, 2016 Moderator Share Posted November 14, 2016 Did alright for 88 minutes in a very good game that it looks like we're going to lose 3-2. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 He's the answer to our central midfield issues. Get him in there. Comfortable in possession and always wants the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I can see not having him against top teams away. But he should be behind the striker every game we are going for the win from the start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted November 18, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 18, 2016 Jack has been hit or miss for me though there is unquestionably a player in there. Tonight he was outstandingly good. Totally imperious, they really couldn't handle him. Good on you Jack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJT123 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I think if you're going to play him then it has to be through the middle. He excels in that position for the England U21s and he looked great there tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Shimmered through that midfield head and shoulders above any other player on the pitch. More like that and the hype will justifiably return. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Was just superb when he came on. Do hope we see him more often in that position, much more effective than out wide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Class on the ball as usual, more determination and aggression from him tonight though. Huge player for us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 He has so much time on the ball which is a good sign of class. If he can perform like that more often he wont just be a first team club player. He will be an England player 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
